Even though she said the case is closed, I've been watching this argument and feel I want to put my opinion across.


Firstly, Hace, they're not calling you ignorant for not liking weed or smoking it, that's your choice and they couldn't care less. It's the way you are not open to all of the facts and you haven't even thought about the other side of the argument.

As for me, I haven't had much to do with weed, but I do know a few things that apply to me.

Pro

- I prefer the smell to tobacco smoke or a drunk guys breath.
- It does bad things to people sometimes, but as stated, the two main legal ones tend to do worse. All of the drunk drivers, the domestic violence caused by alcohol.
- I know way more people who are addicted to legal tobacco cigarettes. Think of all of the deaths caused by them.

Cons

-The law is the law, no matter how silly it may be sometimes. And each law should apply to all, otherwise it shouldn't be a law. By this, I mean, if they enforce it on one person, it should happen to all others who break it. That's why they should choose the laws carefully. I'd rather have weed legal and tobacco not, but at the moment, that isn't the case, and so the current law should be followed.
- Putting any smoke into your body isn't exactly healthy, and weed has some nasty side effects.
- It can lead to other bad drugs.
- It isn't cheap, and addiction can, in extreme cases, lead to people resorting to other means.
